Chapter 169: Asking
Dumping each other? The ministers were in an uproar, secretly cursing the eldest grandson Wuji for being vicious, occasionally a few, thinking deeper, secretly scolding the eldest grandson Wuji for being cunning, avoiding the important and trivial, and diverting the emperor's attention.
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, suddenly smiled, and said: "The eldest grandson is reasonable, but if you are a first-time offender, you don't need to be severely punished, just go back and reflect on it." β
The Son of Heaven Chrysostom said that the surname was given, and a little thing, Wei Zheng and his ilk did not disdain to collide with the emperor, so the ministers had no choice but to bow down and apologize, shouting Your Majesty's wisdom.
Just because of this, I quarreled for a long time, and now it is noon, the court will disperse, the civil and military officials come out in an orderly manner, the eldest grandson Wuji deliberately slowed down, and as expected, a temple man ran over in small steps, and whispered: "Uncle Guo, Your Majesty is invited." β
The eldest grandson Wuji went with him, and when the nearby officials saw it, they were envious in their hearts, but they were not surprised, and they didn't even have the interest to talk about it, so they dispersed one after another, either to return to the official office, or to go home directly, if they were hungry, they had to eat, they were full, they were recuperating, and they would quarrel again.
In the inner palace garden, not affected by the autumn sun, the flowers are still blooming brilliantly, change into regular clothes, Li Shimin sat in the center of the pavilion, several palace maids waited far away, saw the figure of the eldest grandson Wuji, and saluted, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled kindly, nodded his head, and walked a little faster, came to the pavilion, bowed his head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." β
"Come in." Li Shimin's voice was calm, without the anger just now, fiddling with the three elephant scriptures in his hands, puzzled, and asked sideways: "Auxiliary machine, have you studied it?" β
"The minister is ashamed, but he can't understand it." The eldest grandson Wuji honestly admitted and smiled: "However, wait a few days, and naturally someone will explain your majesty's doubts." β
"Who are you blaming it again?" Li Shimin asked, he has known each other for many years, and he doesn't need to think about it carefully, just by just a few words, he can know what the other party is thinking.
"Taile Ling, Lu Cai." The eldest grandson Wuji grinned, not embarrassed at all.
"You, most of the time, it's not that you can't understand it, but you're too lazy to bother." Li Shimin said that his attitude was casual, and he did not mean to blame, but just stated the facts.
"Your Majesty is really discerning, and his eyes are like torches." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, without denying it at all.
If it was someone else, most of them would have been reprimanded by Li Shimin as a courtier, but this person was the eldest grandson Wuji, and when he was brewing a coup, he had a resolute attitude and wholeheartedly advised; In preparation for the coup d'Γ©tat, he traveled around the night and liaised inside and outside; At the time of the coup d'Γ©tat, he was not afraid of danger, went to the Xuanwu Gate in person, seized the throne, and was the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the first in merit.
Then, for six or seven years, idle at home, above the court, did not express any opinions, only knew how to echo the voice, and faced everything with a smile, thinking about the past, the eldest grandson auxiliary machine, how heroic, handsome and chic, but now, it has become like this, what is the reason, Li Shimin naturally knows how can there be no guilt in his heart.
"Auxiliary, Wen Yanbo resigned due to illness, and the position of Zhongshu Ling is vacant, or you will ......"
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji said solemnly: "The minister is fortunate to live with his relatives, and he is afraid of attracting the personal relatives of the Holy Lord, so he dares to ask for death, besides, ...... Even if His Majesty allows it and the officials agree with it, he can't pass the queen's pass. β
Guanyin, after thinking about it, Li Shimin sighed abruptly, and said helplessly: "Sealing you as a commonplace, she is already very dissatisfied, but she can accept it, if it is a Zhongshu order, I am afraid that I will complain again." β
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, and said knowingly: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come, what do you have to order?" β
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin did not ask him about the revision of the scriptures, but smiled and said: "Your Highness, I am very happy to see you, it seems that I have encountered some happy event, I am curious, and I specially invited you to ask." β
If the courtiers knew that it was only for this reason that they summoned the eldest grandson Wuji alone, they would definitely be deeply indignant in addition to being dumbfounded, and they would have known that they also had a smile on their faces, so as to attract the emperor's attention.
"Your Majesty sees the subtleties and admires the five insides." The eldest grandson Wuji said adoringly, as if adding a little flattering smile, it would be a standard courtier.
Li Shimin was overjoyed, waved his sleeves and said: "If there is any happy event, come quickly." β
"The minister said yesterday that there was a banquet ......," the eldest grandson Wuji said with interest.
"Banquet?" Li Shimin frowned and interrupted: "Entertain that Han Rui? β
"Exactly." The eldest grandson Wuji admitted calmly, and said angrily: "This kid is obviously talented, but at the banquet, he pretends to be bored with literary thoughts, and refuses to write poems and articles, which is really infuriating." β
"He is not small, he dares to hide it so clumsy, is he not afraid of offending you." Li Shimin asked, his demeanor was calm, and his joy and anger were invisible, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
"What's even more infuriating is that after the banquet dispersed, he actually splashed ink and defaced the walls of my hall." The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed: "The young boy now, he really can't stand the slightest grievance, but he just gave him a little face, and he actually holds a grudge so much." β
"Cursive, or cursive?" Li Shimin suddenly asked, "What is the subtlety of the poem?" β
"Hehe, I know that I can't hide it from Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "It's subtle, it's hard to say, anyway, it's on the top of the imperial capital." β
"What is the momentum, can it be compared with 'Qin Sai Chongguan one hundred and two, Han family leaving the palace thirty-six'." Li Shimin asked.
"It's just high, not low." The eldest grandson Wuji chanted softly: "The double road is crossed by the window for a happy acacia, the double que is even hanging phoenix wings, the Liang family painting pavilion is in the sky, and the golden stem of the Han Emperor is straight outside." β
"What's the whole story?" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was silent with a smile, Li Shimin glared at him and threatened: "Auxiliary, but you picked it up, believe it or not...... Tell the Queen. β
Using his wife to blackmail his brother-in-law, Li Shimin really did it, and the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to eat this set, obediently disarmed and surrendered, cleared his throat, and recited loudly: "Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, and the green ox and white horse are seven incense cars...... Lonely and lonely Yangzi dwelling, a bed of books every year, unique Nanshan osmanthus hair, flying around and attacking people. β
After pondering for a long time, Li Shimin asked, "What is the name of the poem?" β
"Chang'an Guyi." The eldest grandson Wuji replied.
"The pattern is majestic, the syntax is ancient, the twists and turns are enjoyable, and there is more magic of Afang Palace." Li Shimin seemed to sigh, and suddenly said: "The guests invited to last night's banquet, except for him, are all powerful people." β
"It's the minister's negligence." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, not knowing whether it was true or false.
"Will you be negligent?" Li Shimin naturally didn't believe it, and said lightly: "How is this person? β
After thinking for a moment, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Aside from the amazing talent, there is no youthful vigor, calm advance and retreat, at a young age, I know that I am with the light, but I have not done it thoroughly enough, it can be seen that I am arrogant, but I am not awe-inspiring and arrogant, not like a mediocre talent, nor a talent, or I will not be in the vulgar." β
"Auxiliary, we have intersected for many years, don't you know me?" Li Shimin frowned and said: "I am not Emperor Yang, and I disdain to do things that are more capable of 'empty beams falling into Yanni'."
The poet Xue Daoheng was full of talent, every time he did something, the world all chanted, there was a poem "Hanging spider webs in the dark, empty beams falling into swallow mud", wonderful, so that the world praised, Yang Guang was jealous, so he wanted to kill Xue Daoheng, and asked him directly when he was sentenced: Can he do 'empty beams and swallow mud'.
The eldest grandson Wuji understood what Li Shimin meant, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Yang is arrogant and arrogant, conceited and talented, and every person who is proud of the world, but His Majesty humbly accepts advice, is as good as a stream, and praises the world, how can the two be side by side." β
"The past is not far away, and I will naturally remember the teacher today." Li Shimin said: "So, you don't have to hide it, tell the truth about how Han Rui is." β
The eldest grandson Wuji groaned, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Poetry is unparalleled, and courage is ...... When it's big, it's small, I don't dare to be angry in person, I treat my ministers like tigers, I am cautious, but I play some small tricks that can't be put on the table in private, thinking that this won't make my ministers angry? β
Some couldn't cry or laugh, and the eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Some children have spleen surnames, and they don't look like talents. β
"It's not that you're not a talent, it's just that you don't want to say it." Li Shimin said casually: "I don't dare to be disobedient, I want to know how to advance and retreat, I know the current affairs, I am safe in the banquet, I don't want to write, I want to stick to my surname, I have courage in my heart, and I leave a poem after the banquet, I think I am wise, such a person, not a talent, and there are a few people in the world who deserve the title of talent." β
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately bowed down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are far behind." β
"Flattery." Li Shimin scolded with a smile: "The dignified Duke of Qi, the important minister of the imperial court, is so subservient and subservient, if you let the queen know, you will inevitably complain again." β
"Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, and the ministers are full of clever words, and they can listen to their flattery, and over time, they will naturally be slightly affected." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, took out a fold from his sleeve, and presented it.
Li Shimin naturally took it and said calmly: "How many people are there this time?" β
"Seven, or ask for an official, or commit a crime, ask me to help dredge it." The eldest grandson Wuji said, his round face was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
"Hmph." Li Shimin looked at it slightly, and closed the fold again, although he didn't say how to deal with it, but the fate of the people on the list can be imagined.
The eldest grandson Wuji reminded: "Your Majesty, the minister suspects that there may be someone behind Ma Hao, the commander of Longmen County. β
"Throw stones and ask for directions." Li Shimin groaned and sneered: "In this year's class examination, Longmen County has made outstanding achievements, and the Ministry of Officials has rewarded him, and he will be promoted in the coming year." β
In later generations, this trick has a famous name, called fishing law enforcement, looking at the tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, it must have been very skillful, to solve this matter lightly, Li Shimin frowned and asked: "Auxiliary, revise the scriptures, what do you think, now there is no one in private, you can speak freely, and you can't shirk." β
After thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What does Your Majesty think, how is the First Emperor?" β
"Naturally, it's a violent ......" Li Shimin suddenly stopped, looked left and right, and whispered: "The First Emperor and the Lord, you don't want to spread this word, lest Wei Zheng know about it and come to me for trouble." β
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled secretly and whispered: "The book is the same as the text......"
